Peter,
the only real cure for the different behaviour anomalies the GT6
Mk2/3 rotoflex suspension have is to go for the design with the
pneumatic bellows suspension and solid transverse girder. It 
gives You the benefit of total adjustment of load tolerance and
optimum tire angle to the ground.
Just my two pence of input in the topic...
Yours
Odd
